thank you all! I did call my Doctor. They had me remove all my steri strips and put hydrocortisone cream on them, By the time I took off my steri strips they were all puffy but non of them are oozing now. Just really welted up and VERY itchy!! Today I had to call them again and they suggested the benadryl cream and it works much better. Other than that...9 days post op I am great.

I am 8 days post op. Had my sleeve on March 26th. I am doing great and I am down 16 pounds 1 week post op! It's been tough but but worth it. Last night my stomach just started being itchy. My incisions are all clean and not red, but the area around them all are itching. Is this common with the healing? If so, how do you guys handle it? I can't take Benedryl during the day it makes me so sleepy!! Any advice is greatly appreciated!!

Hey all! I had my sleeve surgery on 3/26. Day 3 I am still having trouble getting my protein in. I cannot stomach the shakes and protein bullets. I did really good on my pre-diet with my protein so I am really frustrated! Any suggestions how to get through this clear liquid stage?

I am 3 days post op and worried about not getting enough of my Protein. I do well getting it blended with Greek Yogurt or fruit/veggies but that's at least 1 week away until I can have drinkable yogurt. The shakes and bullets I can not physically keep down. I'm most worried about losing my hair because I can't get it all in. I am staying hydrated and walking but that is a focus all on its own.
